Can Contact Lenses Spin to the Back of Your Eyeball Really?

I hate having cr*ppy brown eyes. The most pants colour in the world. I’d like to have blue eyes but to scared to try contact lenses because I heard that they can end up at the back of your eye and youd need your eye removed to get the lense out, then put your eye back in again.
It creeps me out. Is that true??

No.
Nothing could be farther from the truth!
Well, it IS true to an extent. There is a danger of contact lenses moving to the back of your eye if you go to sleep with them still in. Because your eyes are closed and you experience Rapid Eye Movement during sleeping, there has been reported cases of it having moved to the back of the eye, and they did indeed have to go to the hospital but I don’t think the whole eye was removed!
Just remember to take your contacts out before you go to sleep.
the contact lens cannot move to the back of your eyeball.
your eye is set into its socket by a band of tissue and muscle that wraps all the way around it. this band keeps the contact located on the front half of the eye. the contact can’t move to the back half of the eyeball because the band of muscle and tissue completely blocks it.
it is possible, however, for your contact to get stuck under your eyelid, since this is in front of the band of muscle and tissue. but millions of people wear contacts every day without problems.
there is no surgery where the doctor removes your eyeball then implants it again.
i dont think so, if there was a chance of that i dont think many ppl would wear them lol. ive worn them for 4 years and had no problems. i mean sometimes it gets stuck in the corner of ur eye or under ur eyelid, but it goes back and u wudnt need surgury for it.
That’s not possible for your lenses to go to the back of your eye because behind the eye is a layer of muscle and tissues that holds the eye in place of the socket. I took anatomy and learned the eye physiology and how it works and saw that the behind any animal or human eye there are muscles that creates somewhat of a web that holds the eyeball itself into place so it really just sits there. There’s no possible way that your lenses can go to the back of you head. And I’ve never heard of lenses doing that. Majority of my friends wear color contacts for years and nothing like that ever happened to them.
